Just to expand and explain a bit more on this (WHICH IS WHAT AUSTIN AND GROUPBUILDER SHOULD HAVE DONE!!!). the bulletin boards handle text in the same way . . . unfortunately phpBB handles it in an international way using UTF-8 character set, vBulletin on the other hand uses a different...

That could have been done as a default . . . And would have been highlighted if you had been bothered to do some testing like a professional organisation would have done!!

There will be an 'Offset' that you can apply that will bring your PID into line with a reference device . . unfortunately is does vary depending on your PID.

That is a feature of the new all singing all dancing forum software . . .anything that isn't a standard lower 127 characters of the of the ASCII table breaks it. . . . That used to be a feature of windows 3 at one time . . .good to see the progress we are making . . .Can't wait to see how it...

I got mine from Candirect.de, but hop and grape sell them here. Although technically speaking they are beer stop valves :D . . . My Secondary Regs are equipped with taps so I turn the gas off at the reg

Airing cupboard is too hot, ideally you need between 18 and 22C (preferably under 20C). The yeast will have finished chewing up the sugars in the beer kits, the cider will have a bit more sugar so will go longer.

The standard for butane is 29mBar :thumb: . . . Yes the output from a butane system will be less than that for propane

If using propane (and I would always choose propane over butane ;) ) then the vast vast vast majority of burners are designed to use a low pressure regulator supplying butane at either 37 or 50 mBar. . . . Under NO circumstances should they be used with a high pressure regulator (1-4Bar), if you...

I got a load of silicone ORings from this company. Poppet o-rings Dip tube o-rings Post o-rings Lid o-rings The lid O Ring is only 5.3mm rather than the 8mm of a standard one, but being silicone it seals well. I pressurised one of my kegs to 6 psi and lifted the bail bar . . . . stayed sealed...

Avoid it like the plague, apart from the issues with head retention . . . which require copious rinsing (which takes time). the cleansing agents in washing up liquid are not capable of dealing with the residues and bio films that form in bottles / fermenting equipment .. . . . It's designed for...
